The next president of the United States will be elected in less than two weeks and the media is currently saturated with dueling analysts, pundits, and media channels attempting to effectively parse and present the issues and voting data to U.S. voters.

But when it comes to crunching data, nothing beats the Internet. In an effort to shift in the way voters consume information, Microsoft just launched an elections super hub on Bing.

The site is called Bing Elections 2012 and it offers a rich collection of trending stories related to the candidates, popular searches referencing key elections topics, polling information, and an interactive map of the country that offers insight into which direction (Republican or Democrat) various states are leaning.

In addition to the contextualized data, the site also offers extras such as a Balance of Power infographic that tracks the Senate and House of Representatives races, as well as exclusive "get out the vote" videos from former President Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea Clinton, and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman's daughter Mary Anne Huntsman directing viewers to engage the various features of the Bing Elections hub.

Bing will also harness the power of social media to drive engagement on the site. "Bing is also the only search engine with strategic partnerships with Twitter and Facebook to deliver unique social sentiment analysis across key election issues," said Bing vice president Mike Nichols.

In order to lend some analytical heft to the site, Microsoft has also partnered with established political media brands such as Politico, The Huffington Post, Associated Press, Real Clear Politics, and The Cook Political Report.

In recent months Microsoft has aggressively touted the power of its search engine versus Google, even going so far as to invite users to test the search engines side-by-side to prove the quality of Bing search results against the current search leader. Google has its own elections hub, which launched earlier this year.

In other election news, a recent report from the Pew Research Center found that 10 percent of 2012 presidential campaign donations were made via text or mobile apps.
